DH talking about divorce over air fryer

Just had a really disappointing chat with DH tonight. I want to borrow an airfryer for our babyshower next weekend and he just didn't seem interested at all, and even brought up divorce! AIBU to be upset by this?? not sure why its gone bold

Did the air fryer kill his father?

The air fryer is his father

We thought she was bats, but we love her, so if she wanted to borrow the air fryer to cater a party we weren't going to stand in her way.

I know, I know. I'll see myself out.

Just here for the comments....

I can understand he wouldn't be interested, it's hardly an important issue. It wouldn't interest me! However it doesn't sound like a straw to break the camel's back. Is he very stressed about things generally? He shouldn't pass that on to you, you're pregnant; you need to talk to each other, calmly.

Why not just buy an air fryer rather than borrow one? They are not expensive (I looked on Amazon). I don't have one but I know people who think they are great (my son does). It's worth buying if you are going to get good use out of it.

Baby shower. Air fryer.
Nope. Not seeing the connection here.

My answer would be ... Don't have a baby shower (dear God, don't do it) but get an air fryer anyway. Yay! Tell DH if he doesn't like the air fryer, he knows where the door is. Enjoy the rest of your life with lovely homemade chips and shit.

Is that what you cook in your air fryer 😱?

What is the back story OP?
We need to know.

Is he gonna see the air fryer on the counter and be like:
“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die"

Or is something else at play?
Does he think they're work of the devil? Cast thee out of my kitchen evil spawn satan etc.

Is someone really going to lend you their air fryer??

bifurCAT · 16/11/2024 08:08

Sounds like there's something stressful happening behind the scenes

AirborneElephant · 16/11/2024 08:08

Well, I don’t think my DH would be remotely “interested” in my desire to borrow a kitchen appliance. I’m intrigued how the discussion jumped from that to divorce, I assume there’s a much longer story here somewhere?

Sassybooklover · 16/11/2024 08:07

I can only assume that the divorce part was a joke 'If you borrow an air fryer, I'm divorcing you'!! Why do you need to borrow an air fryer for a baby shower???! Is it really that important to cook using an air fryer?! He's probably more bemused by the whole conversation.

I'm a bit hungover and this is all so surreal that I don't know if I'm hallucinating

You didnt happen to offer to lend anyone your airfryer for their upcoming baby shower when you were drunk last night, did you?

Oniya · 16/11/2024 08:04

Is this another thread by a pissed person at midnight? I’ve just read “DH left me by the kerb”.

Now we’ve got air-fryer-baby-shower-catalyst-for-divorce-gate and OPs response is it was a “disappointing conversation”.

Eh?

GoldenPheasant · 16/11/2024 08:01

Is this a dream you had, OP?

ManhattanPopcorn · 16/11/2024 08:01

He didn't bring up divorce over sometime that he "just didn't seem interested" in. What really happened?

crockofshite · 16/11/2024 08:00

Is the divorce idea because of the air fryer, or due to the conversation that took place?

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 16/11/2024 07:58

Either there's a lot of backstory to this and/or your husband is unhinged and/or he already wanted to divorce you anyway. Hard to tell from the OP tbh.

MaryBeardsShoes · 16/11/2024 07:55

Sorry, we can only manage one problem at a time. So is it the issue with your husband, or the formatting?

Now I need to know - why 3?!

Show quote history

I am addicted to QVC.
I bought the first Ninja because my oven is terrible and the cost of living crisis/energy crisis was looming and it has massively cut down electricity costs.
Then my DD has had 2 more boys since so I ended more cooking space and QVC had a side by side Cook works for £60 so I took the plunge then they had the new ninja on a tsv I think it's a tower. It was a good buy as I succumbed.
I sound very sad but there are six of us every day and more sometimes I never use the old oven which used to take over an hour to cook oven chips!

I really need to know what happened between "borrow an air fryer" and "divorce"

Lindjam · 16/11/2024 07:50

So many questions!

Why are you telling MN you’re having a baby shower. You know we think they’re cringe.

Why do you need an air fryer for baby shower?

Why did you need to discuss this with DH?

How did the convo leap from “I am borrowing Amy’s air fryer” to “I want to divorce my pregnant wife.”
